Signal HONDA ODYSSEY 2014 RC1-RC2 / 5.G Navigation Manual

The information and specifications included in this publication were in effect at the time of approval for printing. Honda Motor Co., Ltd., reserves the right,
however, to discontinue or change specifications or design at any time without notice and without incurring any obligation.
Accessories Precautions
The GPS antenna is located in the dashboard. Metallic front or side window tinting can seriously degrade or obstruct GPS reception.
Signal noise from devices such as radar detectors, vehicle tracking devices, remote starters, and additional amplifiers can disrupt the navigation system. If you
install any such item, install it away from the navigation display and antenna.
Important Safety Information
Avoid focusing on the screen or manually operating the system controls while driving.
Enter information before you begin driving or when stopped. As you drive, listen to the audible instructions and use voice commands when possible. Pull to the
side of the road if you need more time to look at the screen or operate the controls.
Route guidance may conflict with street closures, road construction, detours, and out-of-date map data.
The system itself may also have limitations. Verify route information by carefully observing roads, signs, and signals. Always use your own judgment and obey
traffic laws.
2System Limitations
P. 294
Using the navigation system while driving can take your
attention away from the road, causing a crash in which you
could be seriously injured or killed.
Only operate system controls when the conditions permit you
to safely do so.

Troubleshooting
For more Information
(P277)
Why does the vehicle position icon on the map “lag” a
short distance behind my actual position, especially at
intersections?
This is normal. The navigation system is unaware of the
width of intersections. Large differences in vehicle position
can indicate a temporary loss of the GPS signal.
Why does the “time to destination” display sometimes
increase even though I am getting closer to my
destination?
The “time to destination” is based on your actual road
speed and traffic conditions to give you a better estimate
of arrival time.
How do I specify a destination when an entered city or
street could not be found?
Try entering the street first. Some cities are lumped in with
a major metro area. In rural “unverified” areas or new
subdivisions, streets may be missing or only partially
numbered.
How do I turn on the navigation system voice guidance?
1.Press the SETTINGS button. Rotate i to select System
Settings and press u. Check that Volume is not set to
0.
2.Move w or y to select Voice Rec. Set Voice Prompt
to On if you want the system to provide confirmations
and system prompts.
My battery was disconnected or went dead, and the
navigation system is asking for a code. Where do I find it?
In most cases, you do not need to enter a code. Simply
press and hold the 9 (Power) button for two seconds; the
system should reactivate.

the position appears to be incorrect.
1.Put the vehicle in Park.
2.Rotate i to select Correct
Vehicle Position. Press u.
3.Scroll the map to position the
cursor over at your correct position.
Press u.
4.Rotate i to position the
arrowhead in the correct direction

5.Press u to select OK.
1Correct Vehicle Position
An apparent position error can occur where
buildings, tunnels, and other objects block or
reflect the GPS signals, forcing the system to use
“dead reckoning” to determine your location
and direction.
Using this function to adjust vehicle position is
not recommended. When the system reacquires
a GPS signal, it will automatically place the
vehicle in the correct location.
If you continually have to adjust the vehicle
position, you may have problems with the GPS
reception or there may be database errors.

■Deviating From the Planned Route■Tracking Dots
1Tracking Dots
A message “Not on a digitized road” may appear
when you drive half a mile away from a mapped
road.
Breadcrumbs may occasionally be displayed in
urban areas, such as large parking lots in
shopping malls, in new subdivisions where the
roads are not yet in the database, or in areas
where a GPS signal is unavailable, such as in a
parking garage.
Breadcrumbs are limited to approximately 150
miles. Breadcrumbs at the beginning of the trail
are deleted if you exceed that distance.
Breadcrumbs are displayed only at 1/20, 1/8, 1/4,
and 1/2 mile map scales.
